I had my CZ-82 out today, and was running some Blazers through it. I probably put 50 rounds through it, unloaded it, and packed it back in my range back.
When I got home to clean it, I realized that somewhere along the way I lost the extractor, pin, and spring!
When I refinished the metal (home parkerizing job) I noticed that the pin was quite loose, but someone on the CZ forum assured me that that is just how old, well used CZ's are.
I guess what surprised me was that it must have been working while I was shooting, but wiggled loose when I put it away.
Anyway, 2 quick questions--CZ USA doesn't sell these parts for the CZ82, but it does for the CZ83. Is it an interchangeable part?
Also, when I get a new one, how do I prevent it from coming loose again? (Locktite?)
It spooked me, as this is my CCW piece, and in a real world situation, this would have turned my auto into a single shot. It's a great shooter, and has always been reliable (feeds any HP or ball I put in it, never fails to extract...) and I've put hundreds of rounds through it with no problems--until now.
